The Cobb County School District recognizes the importance
of the health and welfare of students and staff. Therefore,
the District establishes a school health service program to
address the health and safety of students and staff. The
program is staffed by a nursing supervisor, area consulting
nurses, and licensed nurses in each school.

We coordinate with the Cobb County Board of Health in
protecting children from certain symptoms of communicable
diseases. Bringing a child to school with any symptoms of
communicable illness puts other children at risk of getting
sick. If all parents keep their sick children at home, we
will have stronger, healthier and happier children. While we
regret any inconvenience this may cause, in the long run
this means fewer lost workdays and less illness for parents
too.
